A new week-long trip to the Mojave Preserve - starting out in the northeast corner in the Clark Mountains!

...We wouldn't see much pavement on this trip, and a gravel road would have been a much more pleasant drive than the few paved miles of Ivanpah Rd. that would deliver us to the New York Mountains. With disintegrating pavement that made us thankful for our aired down tires, we were glad to see the pavement ends sign as we crossed the tracks of the Union Pacific Railroad....

...The draw of this place - for us, at any rate - was the solitude. Unlike every other dune field I've visited, there were no footprints on these dunes before we set out to explore...

Perched atop a pile of granite, the "Mojave Megaphone" as it has come to be called, has been a mystery to many over the years. Theories abound as to its origin - perhaps related to the Tidewater and Tonopah Rail, or to military exercises conducted in the nearby valley; perhaps a test funnel for early rocket research or part of a siren to warn workers of impending danger.

It is, for certain, a strange shape to see out here in the middle of nowhere; but, it is none of those things. Here is the real story....

Looking at these pics, I now believe this is my new favorite thread in the whole forum.

 

A couple from a short one nighter (supposed to be two nights-too cold) in the Mojave National Preserve.

 

Not too shabby

 

thanks - always good to get away (and not be held up by work)

 

Hello everyone, new member, and first time commenting. Y'all are traveling and seeing some amazing things, and this thread is what made me want to join TW, after a friend told me about it. I have a 1982 Toyota pickup 4x4 that I'm currently trying to get going to hunt and overland with, pictures to follow once I get in from work and can get app. It's at the mechanic getting a once over while I'm at work (offshore GoM).

To start trusting new truck, do y'all have any recommendations for trips in Texas? Located in Waco, but off two weeks at a time. I want to do a couple of short trips before I head out west.

 

Welcome to TW

 

Best pictures I have of Toyota I'm working on. I want to make an overland/hunting truck. I picked this up from a guy in Houston, it was running but wouldn't idle, and PULLED so hard to the right I almost ran off the road on test drive. Drove and picked it up on a Monday, left for Louisiana on the next Tuesday, I ended up being offshore stuck for 5 weeks (I missed the Texas Freeze of 2021)...So other than getting an alignment done while I've been gone, haven't had much time with her. Thinking of what to name her. Suggestions?

 

Anyone in the market for a 3rd gen DCLB camper shell? Have one for sale in northern IL. LEER 100R. Used it for camping all the time, just going a different direction with it. PM in interested.
